One of the organisation by name Chinmey Mission is not only helping widows and helpless with ration but also taken responsibilities to give education to their children plus providing counseling to their children for job oriented courses’ along with insurance to the children of widows and helpless. Best and most attractive part of Chinmey Mission is that every fifth member of this organisation is more then the age of sixty eight years.
